New multi-touch gestures include horizontal swipe for playback position, vertical swipe in the right half of the video to adapt volume, similar swipe in the left half of the video to adapt brightness and two finger tap to play and pause. The app also supports downloads from Google Drive as well as download and streaming support from Dropbox. Users will also be able to rename any media item in the library view and delete multiple items at once. VLC is available as a free download from the App Store.
